Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 293

[Chapter 293 As long as Minghe is willing]

Looking at the blonde and blue-eyed woman in front of him, Lin Xiu was speechless for a moment.

He thought he was saving a human woman, but he didn’t expect that she was a sea creature.

But from the structure point of view, she is indeed no different from an ordinary human woman. The only difference is that she can live in the ocean and on land. She has both the characteristics of the human race and the characteristics of the sea creatures.

Because of this, the plight of the sea creatures has always been very miserable. The human race regards them as aliens, and the sea creatures also regard them as aliens. Because of their beautiful appearance and amphibious habits, both the human race and other sea creatures like to abduct the sea creatures. Sea creatures like her can be sold at an incredibly high price on the black market.

The four sea creatures should have had the same idea.

The law of the jungle does not only happen to the human race.

But even if he knew in advance that she was a sea creature, Lin Xiu would still take action.

This has nothing to do with race. Four ugly strong men are chasing a beautiful girl. Anyone with a little sense of justice will not stand idly by.

Lin Xiu did not answer her question, but just said: “Go home quickly, don’t go out and wander around if you have nothing to do.”

When the woman heard his words, her blue eyes suddenly widened, and she said happily: “You can speak our language, are you one of our people!”

Lin Xiu shook his head, unwilling to go deeper into this issue, and his body slowly faded and disappeared in the water.

This scene shocked the blonde woman again.

As if she had thought of something, she suddenly knelt down in the water, put her hands together, and said while bowing: “Thank you, Lord Poseidon, for saving me. When the Poseidon Festival comes, I will definitely catch a few more small fish for you as a sacrifice…”

The sea spirits believe in the Poseidon. From childhood to adulthood, her parents told her that Lord Poseidon is omnipotent and is the patron saint of the sea tribe. The magical scene before her and just now made the figure in front of her overlap with the Poseidon in her mind.

“Poseidon?”

Lin Xiu, who was in a hidden state, shook his head. He was ashamed to be called the Poseidon, but the Sea King was worthy of the name.

The Lord of the Sea could no longer be seen. After the woman bowed several times in all directions, she slowly stood up and disappeared in a certain direction.

Behind her, a figure followed slowly.

Of course, Lin Xiu had no ill intentions. He just wanted to save people. If he left and she was caught again, wouldn’t he have worked in vain?

At the same time, he was also observing silently.

After all, this was his first time encountering an alien race.

The sea race is really a race favored by the sea. They are born with the awakening of water magic and can survive in the ocean and on land at the same time. However, the disadvantage is that they can only awaken water magic, unlike the human race. Although there are very few people who have awakened their abilities, there are many types of abilities, and there are many strong people. The countless invasions of the sea race have ended in failure.

However, the human race can only repel them, but cannot wipe them out.

Once in the sea, humans have no way to deal with the sea race.

Lin Xiu followed her all the way, and at a certain moment, his eyes suddenly looked forward.

He thought that his decision was right. If he had just left, the woman from the Sea Spirit Clan would still be doomed.

The woman swam quickly in the water. Suddenly, as if she sensed something, her body stopped.

Not far ahead, the sea water surged, and three more figures appeared. They were ugly and had fins on their bodies. They appeared in front of her in an instant. One of the sea creatures was surprised and said, “The four of them chased her, but she still ran away.”

Another sea creature holding a weapon said, “Don’t worry about those four trash. They didn’t catch her because they were useless. When the time comes, all the credit will be ours…”

After saying that, the three of them swam towards her with a grin.

The woman’s face turned pale again. Why was she so unlucky today?

If she had known earlier, she would have listened to her father and mother and not run so far.

She would rather die on the reef than be caught by them.

However, just as she had this thought, the three sea creatures suddenly stopped moving. A green blood line spread from their throats. Their bodies also lost vitality and slowly fell into the deep sea.

She was slightly stunned, and the next moment, a look of joy appeared on her face. It was the Lord of the Sea. The Lord of the Sea was still protecting her!

She looked around, but she didn’t see that figure anymore.

But at this moment, her heart was completely at peace, because she knew that the Lord of the Sea was protecting her in secret.

Lin Xiu followed the woman of the Sea Spirit tribe all the way until she swam to a hidden trench. After several sea creatures who looked similar to her appeared, he left with peace of mind.

Under the trench, a woman of the Sea Spirit tribe grabbed the blonde woman’s wrist, raised her hand and hit her buttocks, and said angrily: “I told you not to run around, where did you run to? What if they caught you?”

The woman was excited and excited, and said: “Mother, I met the Lord of the Sea!”

Then, she described her experience just now.

When several Sea Spirit tribe members heard this, their faces changed drastically. A man asked: “You were almost caught by them?” The

blonde woman nodded and said: “They chased me for a long time, and it was the Lord of the Sea who saved me!”

Although the Sea Spirits have believed in the omnipotent Sea God since ancient times, the existence of Sea God is only a legend, and no one has ever seen it in person. Anna may have mistaken someone for Sea God.

It is very likely that their tracks have been exposed. Just in case, it is better to move immediately…

If they are discovered by other sea tribes, the consequences will be disastrous…

A group of Sea Spirits immediately began to prepare for moving. The blonde woman said disappointedly: “Ah, isn’t it Sea God?”

The woman said: “There is no Sea God. You are lucky this time. From now on, you are not allowed to go anywhere…”

Lin Xiu didn’t know what happened to those Sea Spirits afterwards. He was already on his way back to Jiangnan Prefecture.

He was still a little curious about other highly intelligent races besides humans.

It is said that in the wild land of the northwest, there is a group of barbarians who make a living by hunting. They are simple-minded, but they can transform into wild beasts to fight. Their strength should not be underestimated.

In addition, there is an extremely rare race living in the depths of the forest, called the Spirits.

All the spirits will awaken the special arts, and every spirit is a genius in special arts. The probability of giving birth to a strong person is much greater than that of humans, but their number is too small, and it is difficult for the tribe to reproduce, and they almost never contact the outside world.

Even if there are a little more spirits, it is not the human race that rules the continent.

Time is urgent. After returning to Jiangnan Mansion, Lin Xiu spent a night to change the abilities of Caiyi and others.

As a result, his body was hollowed out and he slept until noon the next day.

After lunch, everyone took the colorful boat of the imperial concubine and returned to the capital.

Qianye Lin and Princess Minghe returned a month ago, and Lingyin also finished her practice a few days ago. Ten days later, they will set off for Daluo.

Upon hearing the news of Lin Xiu’s return, the dignitaries in the capital were relieved.

Finally, they don’t have to worry about him continuing to make trouble in Jiangnan.

Even if they are very dissatisfied with Lin Xiu’s troublemaking, at least within three years, they will not and cannot touch him.

The geniuses of Daxia, both in quantity and quality, are still somewhat behind those of Dayou and Daluo. He still has to win glory for Daxia in the competition. They can still distinguish between the petty gains in front of them and the long-term development in the future.

After the next competition, there is no need to spoil him anymore.

The day after returning to the capital, Lin Xiu was summoned by Emperor Xia. After

two months of not seeing him, Emperor Xia seemed to have lost some weight and had dark circles under his eyes. It seemed that he had been working hard these days.

Lin Xiu took the initiative to admit his mistakes and said, “I am wrong. What I did in Jiangnan made Your Majesty embarrassed…”

Emperor Xia waved his hand and said, “There is no one else here, so I will make it clear. What you did in Jiangnan is deeply in my heart. Those things are what I want to do but cannot do. I was right to give you the sign of the Secret Investigation Department…”

He had wanted to intervene in Jiangnan for a long time, but he was the emperor. Every move of the emperor was watched by countless people.

But Lin Xiu was different. His identity and his importance to the court allowed him to do whatever he wanted to a certain extent, and the powerful people could not really do anything to him.

Emperor Xia looked at Lin Xiu and asked, “However, by doing this, you have offended all the top dignitaries in the capital. They don’t bother you now, but that doesn’t mean they won’t bother you in the future. Aren’t you afraid?”

Lin Xiu said, “I am upright and have nothing to be afraid of.”

Emperor Xia looked at Lin Xiu and suddenly asked, “You won’t join the Tiandao League, will you? What you have done is more like the Tiandao League than the Tiandao League…”

Lin Xiu said righteously, “I am loyal to Your Majesty and I only want to have a clear conscience. I just can’t stand those corrupt officials who bully others…”

Whether he was a court official or the head of the Tiandao League, he was working for Emperor Xia. Isn’t this considered loyal?

Emperor Xia believed this. How could he not know whether Lin Xiu joined the Tiandao League?

And wasn’t it what he wanted to see that he was an enemy of the dignitaries in Manjing?

This thought made Emperor Xia feel a little guilty, and he asked, “You have performed a great service for me this time. If you want any reward, just ask.”

Lin Xiu said without hesitation, “I want a colorful boat…”

Emperor Xia was also very straightforward. He waved his hand and said, “It’s just a colorful boat, Zhu Jin. Let the Ministry of Works speed up its construction immediately. The regulations should be the same as the one for the imperial concubine. Do you have any other requirements…”

It was rare for Emperor Xia to be so generous, so Lin Xiu was not polite and continued, “And Princess Minghe…”

Emperor Xia was stunned for a moment, then said, “As long as Minghe is willing, I will not stop her. However, she is a princess and cannot be your concubine. Even if she marries into the Lin family, she must be on the same level as your wife…”

Lin Xiu murmured, “…Your Majesty, can you pay back the 400,000 taels of silver that Princess Minghe owes me?”

Emperor Xia fell silent when he heard this. The house could be given, the colorful boat could be given, these were properties that could not be touched, but the silver was always tight in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He could not bear to part with 400,000 taels.

He smiled and said, “Well, although I am the emperor, I cannot use the silver from the national treasury at will. Let’s talk about this later. Anyway, you don’t need these 400,000 taels…”
